The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats

<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>

Let the number of cats alice has be x.

Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.

Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7

If they have a total of 56 cats, then;

x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56

7x - 7 = 56

7x = 56 + 7

7x = 63

x = 63/7

x = 9

Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats

Answer:

\huge \boxed{2\sqrt{5} +\sqrt{35}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{5} (2+\sqrt{7} )

Expand brackets.

\sqrt{5} (2)+\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{7} )

2\sqrt{5} +\sqrt{5} \sqrt{7}

Apply radical rule : \sqrt{a} \sqrt{b} =\sqrt{ab}

2\sqrt{5} +\sqrt{5 \times 7}

2\sqrt{5} +\sqrt{35}

Hey there :)

All these shapes are known as a rhombus.
The are formula of a rhombus is \frac{(side1)(side2)}{2}

1st ) The area is given = 48 in² 
       The diagonals are 1) 8 in and 8 in = 16 in , 2) x in and x in = 2x in

Apply the formula to find x 
48=\frac{(16)(2x)}{2}
48 = 16x

Divide by 16 on either side to isolate x
\frac{48}{16}= \frac{16x}{16}
3 = x 

Check:
Area = \frac{(8+8)(3+3)}{2} 
         = \frac{96}{2}
         = 48 in²

2nd ) Area is given = 48 ft²
          The diagonals are 1) 4 + 4 = 8 ft , 2) x

Apply the formula to find x 
48 = \frac{(8)(x)}{2}
48 = 4x

Divide by 4 on either side
\frac{48}{4} = \frac{4x}{4}
12 = x 

Check:
Area = \frac{(4+4)(12)}{2}
         = \frac{96}{2}
         = 48 ft²

3rd ) Given diagonals are 19 ft and 38 ft
Area = \frac{(19)(38)}{2}
         = \frac{722}{2}
         = 361 ft²
